Many parents stop using booster seats for their children too soon. California law requires children stay in a child or booster seat until they are 6 years old or weigh at least 60 pounds. However, at that size, kids are still too small for an adult safety belt.
Calgary residents can check out Kidseat for more information about recycling expired seats at various Round-Up Clinics or Inspection Clinics. They promise to recycle or reuse any part of the seat possible, including metal, plastic and any other usable parts. Kidseat charges a recycling fee of $7 per car sear and an additional $2 for the base. You must also remove all fabric, foam and webbing.
Hi there-I work with Graco, and yes, the car seat base expires the same time as the seat. It should also be on the bottom of the base either punched into the plastic or on a white sticker.Let me know if you have trouble finding it.Hope that helps!i there-I work with Graco, and yes, the car seat base expires the same time as the seat.
